Fast forward through 3 months of living inside Powerpoints and the library and we arrive at a snowy, well-deserved, super laidback Spring Break. So far I've hiked 7 miles on a waterfall crawl in the great outdoors, eaten my weight in comfort food, and done some digging through my memory cards to shake out these ole blogging legs. Thank you for your supportive comments on my last post, saying hi on social media, and sticking with me for all these years.

Solvang is a quaint little Danish town in the mountains near Santa Barbara (12/30/12). JJ and his family and I frolicked around the village admiring the windmills, munching pastries and sausages, trying on clogs. Though it might feel odd to be seeing photos of real pretzels adorning Christmas trees in late March, the persistence of current coat-weather makes it quite fitting. Note to curator of weird American traditions: please fire The Groundhog.

The rest of this week will be spent drinking fancy coffee and reading for pleasure, exploring the zoo and botanical gardens, and writing a letter-to-self disaster preparedness plan to avoid repeating the same "med school + winter ate my blog" excuse next year. Step 1: hunt down a floor length puffy coat to act as full-body shield against the elements and to hide presentable outfits underneath. Step 2: clone self to take outfit pictures or convince the world that library-cubicles-are-the-next-thing-in-fashion. Step 3: laugh at the last photo and how often my priceless weirdo moments are captured on film.

Those clogs are so cute :D I love the little town of Solvang. It's so charming, like from a story book charming! :P Good to hear you've thoroughly enjoyed yourself and had a nice time!! You deserve it. And you deserve to eat your weight in comfort food! ^___^ That's the best. Oh man, I also love JJ's domo beanie!!!!!! LOL It's cute!!!!!! :D

Ahh, what a quaint little place! I just love all the cute little details and decorations. Your edgy outfit is so chic--those oxfords are perfect! Hope you have a fun time eating, enjoying, and relaxing!

P.S. I'm visiting WashU! If you see this before Friday, do you have any tips/things to expect?
